Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Shooting struggles in narrow defeat
Rotowire
Prosper closed with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 loss to Dallas.
Prosper's efficiency took a major hit, as he struggled to find his mark from both the perimeter and the free-throw line. Despite the cold shooting, the third-year pro remained productive in other areas, nearly reaching a double-double with eight boards and adding three steals. Since signing a standard two-year contract in early March, Prosper has been a consistent fixture in the Grizzlies' injury-depleted frontcourt. Over his last 11 games as a starter, he is averaging 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.0 minutes per night.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Starting role continues
Rotowire
Prosper ended Monday's 126-115 loss to the Nets with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes.
Prosper scored double digits for the fifth time in his past seven games, continuing to operate as the starting center. During that span, he has flirted with top-140 value in standard formats, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest. Despite the opportunity. Prosper's overall value is somewhat limited. At best, he should be viewed as a stream-level player, rather than someone who has to be held through any unfavorable stretches.
Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Prosper totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-114 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Fresh off signing a new two-year contract with the Grizzlies, Prosper cobbled together another encouraging performance, falling one rebound short of a double-double. As basically the last center standing, Prosper has quietly put himself on the standard league radar. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has been a top-100 asset in standard formats, averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per contest.
The Grizzlies signed Prosper to a standard two-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Prosper was previously on a two-way contract, but the forward has impressed in recent outings with so many injuries on the roster. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: First career double-double
Rotowire
Prosper racked up 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-105 victory over the Mavericks.
Making his fourth straight start in an injury-ravaged Grizzlies frontcourt, Prosper recorded his first career double-double while also making an impact on the defensive end. The third-year pro took on a more sizable workload in February, when he averaged 13.1 points, 5.0 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest while shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 44.4 percent (16-for-36) from beyond the arc over 10 games (five starts).
Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Productive again Monday
Rotowire
Prosper ended with 17 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 123-114 loss to the Kings.
Prosper continues to play well, having now put up top-45 value in four appearances over the past two weeks. During that span, he has averaged 15.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 0.8 three-pointers, shooting 72.2 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the line. It seems as though Memphis is going to be comfortable throwing any number of players out there on a nightly basis, with around 26 minutes being the average limit for them. Keeping this in mind, Prosper is someone to at least consider picking up, just to see if he can maintain his current momentum.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Nets 23 points on 16 shots in win
Rotowire
Prosper supplied 23 points (10-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-114 win over the Jazz.
Prosper brought some nice energy off the bench and helped the Grizzlies hit the brakes on a four-game skid. He's been shooting the lights out over the past three games, scoring 20.7 points per game on 69.4 percent shooting from the field and 75.0 percent at the line to go with 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 treys and 1.0 steals per contest.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Returns with 14 points
Rotowire
Prosper accumulated 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
The Nuggets will face a tough decision regarding Prosper, as he is available for only 12 more games under his current contract. The team may take their chances and use that allotment until Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is back, or they could send Prosper back to the G League to save him for the final month. Due to the uncertainty surrounding his nightly status, he's a risky fantasy prospect.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Inactive for Monday's loss
Rotowire
Prosper (two-way) was inactive for Monday's 114-113 loss to the Warriors.
Prosper had logged double-digit minutes in each of the Grizzlies' previous eight games, but Memphis elected to keep him inactive Monday, despite five players being ruled out with injuries and 10-day signee Lawson Lovering having yet to join the team. The Grizzlies likely decided to hold Prosper out in order to manage his availability; the two-way player has already suited up for 37 games with Memphis this season, meaning that he can be active for just 13 more contests before he would need to be converted to a standard deal to be eligible to play at the NBA level. With that in mind, expect Prosper's appearances to be somewhat sporadic moving forward, especially as the Memphis frontcourt gradually gets strengthened by the returns of Santi Aldama (knee), Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) from injury.
Prosper ended with 25 points (9-13 FG, 7-8 3Pt) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 loss to Portland.
Prosper is well positioned to succeed after Jaren Jackson's trade, and although he's still coming off the bench, he's getting his first real chance as a daily contributor in the league. A return to the G League is highly unlikely for Prosper, who should be a key part of Memphis' rebuilding effort as the team's playoff hopes fade.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Prosper isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Portland.
The Grizzlies have been severely shorthanded in the frontcourt recently, and it was Prosper who was called upon to serve as the team's starting center last time out. However, Kyle Anderson is available Saturday night, and the veteran forward will take over center duties from Prosper. Given the Grizzlies' sheer lack of bodies, expect Prosper to see significant run off the bench.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Hits for 13 in spot start
Rotowire
Prosper closed with 13 points (3-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Friday's 135-115 loss to Portland.
The 2023 first-round pick made his first start of the season with Santi Aldama (knee) unavailable, and Prosper responded by tying his season high in points, a mark he had just set Jan. 31 against Minnesota. Prosper has seen a larger role in the frontcourt rotation over the last week, averaging 9.3 points, 5.5 boards, 1.0 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.8 steals in 22.8 minutes across the last four games, but he'll face increased competition for court time once the newly acquired Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Anderson (illness) are up to speed.
Prosper will start against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
The 23-year-old forward will get the starting nod for the first time this season due to Santi Aldama (knee) being sidelined. Over his last five outings, Prosper has averaged 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.2 minutes per contest.
Prosper logged eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.
Prosper was back in the rotation after having sat out the previous four games. This came out of nowhere, especially the fact that he logged 26 minutes, matching his season high. Given he has not been an every-night part of the rotation, it's hard to envisage a world where Prosper should be considered a viable fantasy asset, particularly in moderate to shallow leagues.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Prosper (quadriceps) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Prosper was unavailable for Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to a quadriceps issue, but he is set to play Tuesday. The forward has averaged 8.4 minutes per game over nine appearances in 2025-26, so he's not guaranteed to see meaningful playing time Tuesday.

Rotowire
Prosper (quadriceps) is out against the Cavaliers on Saturday.
Prosper is a fringe rotation player for the Grizzlies, so his absence doesn't carry a lot of fantasy implications. Plus, the Grizzlies are getting some reinforcements back Saturday in the form of Zach Edey.

Grizzlies' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Prosper is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left quad contusion.
Prosper played 26 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss, but the third-year wing has picked up an injury since. A two-way player, Prosper had appeared in just three of the Grizzlies' previous eight games despite being healthy.
